All works except moody check deposit The app works fine, except for check deposit (as so many other users noted). I get message that front image is processing and have to wait or restart process. Please fix this major bug, then the app will be more useful.

Deposits don't work I love this bank and recommend it to everyone. It's really disappointing that their app is broken when it comes to depositing checks. It gives errors that are nonsensical, "image not recognized" when the image of the check is crystal clear. Eventually after about 17 tries the check will deposit. But that's not until after the app has made you retake the picture over and over for no reason and ruined your morning and made you annoying to be around for your girlfriend.

Great Bank....Horrific Android App To call the mobile deposit feature completely, laughably useless is a massive understatement. This app allows me to waste 30 minutes a day repeatedly trying to capture an image of either the front or the back of a check. Neither works. Ever. When it does finally take a picture, it manages to do so just as the app times out for security measures. I then start the process all over again. I've used the iOS version of this app when I had an iPhone and it worked every time. Clearly, the Android development lags far behind or simply isn't a priority. Make the app either usable for all Android devices or QA test it enough to know which devices it's compatible with. You're better than this FRB.

All good except horrible check scan I am grateful to have mobile deposit however it works horribly worse than a beta app for this feature. It takes adjusting lighting to bright with no glare or shadows, then smoothing out any folds or wrinkles, then literally hold your breath or get a tripod to take the picture. Then flip the check & get the exact same distance & angle to take the backside. This will always error and you eventually get it to accept 1 image. Then it's not over. The next day you need to watch for an email that they accepted it

Picture taking is broken Picture taking just won't work on an LG G3. Press the button repeatedly, and once every minute, if you're lucky, one picture will be taken. Infuriating! Worst of all, it often fires at the very second you're giving up, and you get one bad photo...

Decent general banking app, check deposit flakey The app covers all the bars and generally is well laid out and functional. The check deposit functionality is the big exception: buggy, low featured and very frustrating to use, rejecting most images multiple times.

Good App Except Check Deposit I like the App for most features. The check deposit app didn't work well when I used it a year or so ago (maybe longer). I haven't used the check deposit again as the 1st experience wasn't good.

Does not work with Samsung S5 Since I got the S5 it is practically impossible to use the camera to deposit checks. The camera is great and I can take amazing pictures but the software this app uses to process it is a mess. More than 20 attempts and in some cases I just have to give up. This is a major disappointment.

App can use a visual overhaul; needs better deposit OCR. I'm glad to have features such as mobile check deposit, but as others have stated I often need several retakes before the app will accept the check images. The app can also use a visual refresh to align with Android 4.x and L standards.

Taking pictures of checks is horrible. I feel going to the bank and depositing takes just as long as getting pictures just right. Often says checks are different sizes. Though crystal clear as a photo, the app changes checks to black and white which distorts and doesn't pick up check details. Also depends on what background you use. Dark backgrounds do not work at all for me. I have a Samsung note4. Chase and bank of America have better photo integration. Please update.

32 minutes to deposit 2 checks Completely a waste of time...I've taken 59 images with the sides taped down from behind. Tells me the check is bent. Restart my phone...try again...this needs to be fixed...for a private bank you'd think they could get the deposit feature to work on their app.

New Auto Focus is Hit or Miss The new auto focus feature works fine for the front of the check, but always comes out blurry on the back because it focuses on the center of the picture where there is no writing. If you switched back to manual focus at least for the back of the check then it would be much more simple.
